RE: Mysterious RHEL 4 crash

You can download it as an RPM, or standalone or you can use the
Clonezilla livecd I think it has it onboard.

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/memtest86/
http://www.memtest86.com/
http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/

the only bad thing about this is that it will take the server offline
for hours. Something I have not been able to do with my server.

Could you explain what is 'memtest86', please!!!
I have the same trouble: rebooting server with nothing in message log.
And I don't know how to find 'memtest86' in my RedHat4.

I did a hardware reset. What is the 3 finger kill?

You've never heard of <crtl><alt><delete> as the three-finger kill?

At any rate, it sounds to me as though you have a hardware problem
*sigh*. Since you rebooted, and it did the std. fsck (I would hope),
then you might try taking the system down, and running memtest86.

Let me note that I spent months resolving my wife's system, which had
the same thing - it would freeze, mostly with a screensaver on, but
sometimes while using it. Turned out to be the video card.

My server decided to crash about 10pm last night. It just locked
up.
I
came in this morning and the console was unresponsive, no virtual
terminal, nothing. /var/log/messages doesn't show anything either.
Admittedly I am pretty new to linux, and I don't know what other
logs I
can check.

How did you restart it - the three-finger kill, or did you need to do
a
hardware reset?
